SURVEYING GANG VISITS RENSSELAER

Lafayette Northwestern Line Being Staked Off by Engineers—Remington is Missed.

H. E. SheUihouse, chief engineer of the Lafayette Northwestern intern rban, and a gang of nine engineers and assistants, arrived in Rensselaer Tuesday evening and took up their headquarters at the Makeever hotel from which place they will make daily tripe in surveying the projected road from Lafayette to Kankakee. This is the “Diown” route, which was started several months ago and which seems to have caused the Indiana Northwestern ot Roberts route to have been abandoned. Th surveyors started their job on Oct 21st at Lafayette and have been working in this direction since that time. They will proceed on to Morocco and Kankakee, they state. The route from West Lafayette was to Wolcott and thence to Rensselaer, leaving Remington out. This is the line in which Warner Elmore and other Remijigton men were Interested and tile changing of the plan to miss that town will probably not meet their approval'. However, it is a long jump from a surtey to a railroad and possibly there will be no great amount of Worry.
